I would avoid that actually. The way you describe is probably compacting the soil. Indoors, cultivating your pots isn't necessary, and I personally would just poke holes with a chopstick and besides that, let them be.

I'm still wracking my [small] brain to think of other reasons. I'm sure this is a combination of multiple factors here... hmmmmm....

Where the heck is rhizome when ya need him? This is one of those stumpers fo'sho!
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . NUTES/Feeding Issues W/ CHURCH Need Help!!!! I'm currently growing Church along w/ some other strains. I have no issues w/ the other plants but the CHURCH is a headache as far as the NUTES are concerned.. I'm using the GH 3 Part System.. I have gone over 900 2 times and caught NUTE burn both times. I'm using the GH 3 part w/ Flora Nector and Voodo Juice... I have not had any issues when staying @ 900 I'm going 50mL Micro 50ML Bloom 20-30 ML Grow (Still) and adding some Flora Nectar and Voodo Juice when I feel up to It... The CHURCH Rating: 5
